Episode 13. Legacy of the first warrior (7)
“Seorin’s true identity is Glasher Niimi! It’s worth fighting!”
“Somehow you are strong!”
“Yes, yes. Kind.”
When the low-level spirits made a fuss, the middle-level spirits responded with mechanical voices and patted their heads. There was no nanny.
“Poetry, it’s difficult to focus attention… ….”
The crouching Glasher quickly hid behind my back.
Now she was taking off her necklace and borrowing Maria’s power. Because I couldn’t stay among the flames forever.
“But why are you hiding behind me?”
“Yo, because the hero called me ugly.”
I didn’t say that.
Don’t fake it.
“That’s ugly… …. Master, you really care about appearance, don’t you?”
“Does Master mean that you are not satisfied with good looks? It also makes sense if he certainly has that level of power.”
“At that level, even among the elves, his looks are recognized. There must be some reason why you weren’t interested in other women.”
I suddenly became a person with high eyesight.
To be honest, I didn’t care if I looked normal. It was very difficult to date in the other world right now, so why bother with appearance?
I was thinking of dating for sure if I could safely get past the Man-Ma Daejeon.
“Stop talking nonsense. Glasher, I want you to stop meeting the water spirit king.”
“Ah… that is… …. Well, I’ve been telephoning for a while too……. Please wait a little while saying that the ‘lively kid’ has arrived.”
…… Lively kid?
There was only one entity that Naiad could refer to in that way.
Fire Spirit King, Phoenix.
She’s suddenly seeing Naiad?
For some reason, I had a feeling that the situation would become a headache.
“Oh, you are here!”
“Oh, shut up.”
I turned around at the man’s voice following Glasher’s words.
There, a long-haired man was pushing a red-haired woman with his blue hair flowing.
The red-haired woman even puts her shoulder on her to make her stick closer to her.
“Why! Said they were warriors.”
A costume similar to Ariel.
It was more like a traditional oriental outfit than a dress. As shown in the game, she had a modified hanbok with winged clothes like a fairy, and if there was a difference from Ariel, the red color occupied an excessive amount.
Looking at her outfit, I could clearly tell that she was Phoenix, the spirit king. Because that fairy outfit can only be worn by the spirit king.
“…… You guys calm down The spirits are watching.”
Behind them, Ariel frowned and shook her head.
“No, this ruined baby doesn’t listen to her!”
Since Naiad was a man, he didn’t dress like a fairy, but like the other spirit kings, his attire was quite similar to the traditional oriental attire. To put it simply, it felt like a remodeled hanbok.
“Oh! Hi guys You are always cute.”
Phoenix, a red-haired woman who saw the lower spirits, waved her hand and said hello.
“Look! You’re not listening to me! And if you stick with that bastard, you’ll die from the heat.”
Anyway, the spirit world seemed to belong to the bean flour family.
The spirit kings who proudly appear before us.
In front of the grumbling figure, the spirits knelt down and bowed their heads.
“It is an honor to meet John An. Miss Naiad, Miss Phoenix, and Miss Ariel.”
Before I knew it, Glasher was on one knee in front of the spirit kings, with his head bowed. Other middle and lower level spirits were no exception.
Only me and the warriors stood stiffly.
Naiad’s expression, which had been shouting immaturely a moment ago, was solemn, and Phoenix, who was greeting lightly, was still smiling. It was evident that his personality was contradictory.
“Wake up, Glasher.”
“Yes.”
The figure of the shy person disappeared.
Since she was ashamed of limiting people, in a way it was only natural.
Glasher rises from her seat.
Naiad, who had been staring at her formally, stares at us.
“Are these the ones who passed the test?”
“Yes. He had enough strength to deal with me and medium-level spirits, and he certainly had the qualities of a warrior, judging from the fact that he showed mercy to the spirits who attacked him with the intent to kill. Also, among the authors, there is one who perfectly endured the freezing of all things.”
“Huh? A freeze of all things?”
Naiad brushed her blue hair in small admiration.
Since Freeze All Things was Glasher’s strongest skill, it was a skill that even the spirit king, Naiad, had a hard time blocking. I was surprised to hear that he had blocked it rather than avoided it.
“That man was a warrior with strong disciples.”
“Are you a warrior? After all, the only thing the spirits can be familiar with is a hero. Then where, which of those four are you?”
“I am a man.”
“…… A man?”
At Glasher’s words, Naiad’s forehead narrowed.
The current spirit kings were those who made a contract with the first hero except for Ariel.
There was no way he didn’t know the true nature of the hero’s strength.
In other words, impersonating a hero in front of them was absolutely impossible.
“That’s strange. You can’t feel the strength of a hero at all from that man?”
He walks towards me with a frown on his face.
A ripple formed under his feet. He walks lightly as if there is water on the ice and looks down at me.
Keep an eye on me for a while. As if reading all of my inner thoughts.
“…… You bastard, are you impersonating a hero?”
The moment Naiad spoke, the eyes of countless beings gathered on me.
Damn it, I missed the timing to say I’m not a hero.
“Didn’t I say that the person who wanted to meet me was a man, Ariel?”
“Right. That man.”
Ariel nodded her head at Naiad’s words.
“Then you must be Prause.”
“Yes, but.”
“Hmm. No matter how you look at it, you’re not a warrior. Just a normal human being How did you survive the freezing of everything? Explain now.”
“… Right. I am not a warrior. Such a heavy fate is not to my liking.”
“Ha! But do you dare pretend to be a hero to the spirits?”
The buzz around me intensifies.
The warriors were listening intently to Naiad’s words, probably not understanding the situation.
“Sorry, but I never once called myself a warrior. People around me just ‘misunderstood’ that I was a hero. I just ‘neglected’ it.”
“What…… ?”
“Speak straight. Unless you want to die.”
That was something I really wanted to say to myself. If you don’t want to die, fix your words, please.
“You dare discuss death with the King of Spirits? On a human subject?! Don’t kill me!!”
A huge sphere forms above his head. It was the time when he gulped at the water swirling in the form of a sphere.
Pain!
At first, a sphere formed of water exploded into the air. Ariel canceled his magic with wind magic.
“Niad, can you calm down? We already talked about the malbonsae being dirty.”
“…… Ariel, what are you doing?”
From noble mtl dot com
“We are not here to fight. And Prause isn’t wrong. In fact, Prause never said that he was a warrior himself. I already told you that Prause is not a hero.”
Even if he chewed on my words, he frowned as if he couldn’t ignore Ariel, who was on an equal footing with him. Eventually he clicked his tongue and tempered the momentum to kill me.
“After… …. Prause, I see you don’t know. Only the hero can meet the spirit king. Even if you passed Glasher’s test. I have nothing to do with you, so get out of here.”
He walks past me.
Are you ignoring me as I have business?
I also wanted to get over it without conflict. But I had something to say to him. What have I been struggling with to come here?
The place where Naiad passed me stopped was in front of the three warriors.
“Yes, are you warriors?”
“What are you talking about?”
Iris asked, placing her hand on the handle of her sword. Seeing the wary attitude, he laughed.
“Ha ha, that’s right. There’s no way I can tell the warriors. Because we have to use the hero to eat.”
I had no intention of denying the word “Use it”.
The reason I have them is to make them fight demons during the Human-Ma War.
“What did you say earlier?”
Tina said nervously. Naiad sees Tina.
“I see. Are you a swordsman?”
“…… ?”
“Sword Saint, Paladin, Elemental Master. It’s a different power than the past warriors. But the traits aren’t bad. Besides, his strength is also quite tempered. How old are you?”
It seemed that he had grasped the characteristics and powers of the three warriors in an instant.
I took a deep breath quietly and looked straight ahead. There, Ariel was restless.
Considering her reaction, I don’t think she even said anything nonsense.
In that case, it is worth suggesting enough numbers here.
“Wait, Naiad. Wait.”
“Ariel, once. Even if you can do that once, the only thing I can think of is that helping out twice is obviously with personal feelings in it?”
Ariel opens her mouth to defend herself, but she is immediately blocked.
“Ariel, stay calm for now. Naiad is right, even though his words are dirty. There are plenty of problems with someone who isn’t even a hero pretending to be a hero.”
Phoenix said, arms crossed.
“But Prause is such a person—”
“Stop it? Ariel. The more you advocate like that, the weirder it gets? Could it be that you have finally found someone to replace that ‘insignificant human’?”
“What…… ?”
“I told you. The time between spirits and humans is different. The reason we contract with humans is to preserve the spirit realm. Don’t you know how shaken the spirit world was once when you put useless personal feelings into it? Be aware of where you are.”
“Hey… Have you finished talking now?”
Ariel asks in a trembling voice.
Mentioning her phasma in a negative way was, for her, like touching her vices.
“Do you know how greedy humans are? Spirits who have not yet experienced contracts are endlessly used by humans.”
“Because you have that mindset, even the first hero abandoned you.”
“What?”
This time, Ariel touched Naiad’s evil.
Glaring at each other with fighting spirit.
While I was watching the bloody fight between the two spirit kings, the ghost floating next to me said.
[Prause, can you lend me your body just once? I want to give that child a shot.]
My skin tingled with his anger. It was not easy to take a breath as the life was more intense than ever.
In front of her girlfriend, she seemed unable to bear that she was humiliated. Real man, Phasma.
But she couldn’t lend her body to him.
“No. If you step out here, it will only be difficult. Leave it to me.”
I know how Phasma speaks.
But I had to fulfill my purpose first. It was embarrassing to have a situation where the relationship went wrong and the purpose could not be achieved.
Of course, that didn’t mean I wouldn’t eat a single shot.
“Since ancient times, humans have been unreliable. Just as humans use us, we just need to use them. Don’t get buried in useless emotions. Judge rationally.”
“…… Use it That’s a good word.”
I interrupted instead of Ariel.
“I’m sorry, but don’t join anyone who isn’t even a hero. I don’t want to listen to a swindler who cheats to take advantage of the hero.”
Niad said with his eyes wide open.
It was a great life. It felt like a choke on my neck.
But if I don’t know about other things, I’m confident that I’ll do well when it comes to strengthening my eyes.
[Activates the skill 「Living」.]
Naiad, who has fully mastered the live skill, steps back in shock. Bewildered by unexpected pressure. I felt like I was about to smile when I saw her eyes trembling.
“What is that, that intimidating feeling…… !”
Arial and Phoenix, who were watching from a distance, also flinched.
The other spirits couldn’t overcome the pressure to kill, and groaned while frowning.
“Niad, what are you so good at?”
“What?”
“It is disgusting to see these children talking proudly without even knowing that they are warriors.”
For the first time in a while, it felt like my mind and filtering matched. Aside from the trembling of my body, the words I had in mind came pouring out as they were.
“Do you think the warriors would still be alive without me? Who do you think made those kids strong?”
“That’s it… ….”
Niad doesn’t give an easy answer.
Thanks to that, I put strength into my voice.
“Don’t mess around with players, NPCs who don’t even know what to do.”
Bro finally showing his true gamer powers hahaha.
